The split threads are nice for my lurking rear end. Keep it going!

Edit: is there a way to vote on polls on the awful app?

Not that I know of. I just logged on using my phone's browser and voted that way.

Split threads are better than before, and hopefully some day, down the road, in the future, we can get a single thread for each game. Time marches on.

Hawks Broncos deserves its own thread this week.

There are only two other games at the time, but you know what. Yeah, that game probably needs its own containment zone.

Over the offseason we discussed having separate Game of the Week threads, and I can't imagine a better game to kick that off with. (Yes, I'm a Hawks fan. But you can't deny that this game is huge.)

It's a non-conference game in week 3. Neither team will be overly effected regardless of who wins.

100 posts in a GDT takes all of 1 minute to scan.

If that is the case then all of those posts were "lol" or some nonsense like that, which is exactly why so many of us wanted separate threads. Those other threads allow us to skip that bullshit and actually post something about the game besides twitter reactions.

TubeStank posted:

So what you want is a GDT to not be a GDT. The only time there are a ton of posts with "lol" etc is when something actually really funny happens like the Buttfumble. More people seeing cool poo poo and reacting to it at the same time = a good thing.

Edit: GDTs aren't for ~game anaysis~ they're for reacting to the game as it happens. That's what the aftermath thread is for.

And maybe some of us enjoy doing that for the game we are currently watching as well as in the aftermath threads? You're just defining a GDT as "the way I like it to be" and then disagreeing when other people prefer a different format. I want a GDT the way I like it, and the only reason so many people seem to have a problem with that is because their monster thread doesn't get as many "lol :romo:" as it used to. A bunch of us want to take a different approach to it, I don't see why that is so harmful to your way of life.

Would a Serious Thread and a Redzone/Old GDT style thread be a good compromise? One thread where you could actually discuss the games at a little bit slower, more moderated pace, and one for posting buttfumble.gif and 10 :laffo:s in a row?

No, because those of us who want more than just a simulation of sitting in a room with a bunch of people would actually like to talk about the game we are watching instead of talking over the other 9 games to make a point about the one we are watching.

If the final vote is literally 50/50 (or close enough) we should stake the outcome on a primetime game. Like if the Raiders cover the spread Sunday night then we go back to megathread, and if they don't we keep split threads (bad example because lol the Raiders, but you get the idea)

Those of us who want to are just going to keep posting in the threads we like and at this point it is pretty clear that enough of us like it that we can continue to do so.

Was that thread as bad as one would expect?

It was actually great all the way through. Stayed on topic for the most part and had some good discussion. No quibbling between Broncos and Seahawks fans (outside the normal taunting at least), and was overall very enjoyable. I liked having a nice single game thread and would enjoy doing it again in the future. I think a majority of people just assumed it would be bad for some reason and didn't bother checking it out.

It wasn't a bad thread but it was a completely pointless one. There isn't enough action at the late games slot to warrant single game threads. Most people only watch whatever the big game is on that time slot anyway and a few people watching the others. Just keep late games as 1 thread.

Pointless? I don't think it was pointless. The point was to post in it, and we did and it was fun. What else is there to it?

The big thread is a great way to keep track of all the games, though. It's a pain in the rear end to go back and forth on a phone when sitting on the couch, so there's no point in checking in on cool poo poo in the other threads.

You know what else is a great way of tracking games?

We've tried it one way since the start of this season, so let's try it the other way. The Redzone thread is not a proper substitute.

No. Those of us who want split threads are just going to create our threads anyway and post there. You can't just force us to go along with something we dislike because it makes you feel better.

I'm not saying it from a moral point of view you clown, I'm saying it from a logistical standpoint. You can still have your thread, we aren't depriving you of it. You just can't force us to contribute to it because we will create another thread anyway. Quit being dumb.

It was kind of fun to just post without thinking or reading anyone else's poo poo, so basically the same way I treat N/Vs.
